This article is dedicated for usage of FNDLOAD for Web ADI
Question : Does this article cover FNDLOAD in general?Answer : This article is dedicated to the usage of FNDLOAD for Web ADI. If you wish to fndload entities other than Web ADI, then kindly visit link Fndload for common utilities.

Question: Why does one need to use FNDLOAD FOR WEB ADI?Answer : In any implementation that uses Web ADI, the setup for formatting letters and docments can be overwhelming. More importantly, once configured on a development environment you would not like to repeat the tedious setup on test, crp or other environment. Using FNDLOAD you can migrate 99% of your setup.

Question : What are the man steps when using FNDLOAD for Web ADI?Answer : First step Identify the pieces that must be moved across using fndload. These can be:- Integrators Layouts Mappings ContentsThis article covers the above listed components one by one.

Second stepDownload the above web adi attributes into various ldt files. Basically we will create one ldt file for each of the above four web adi entities.

Third stepUpload those ldt files into the new environment. For this we will run the fndload in upload mode.

Question: How do I execute Step 1, given that FNDLOAD requires the internal names of these entities, these internal names are not visible from the Web ADI screens?Answer: In this example,I will demonstrate using scripts how to recognize the web adi components Names for fndload. SQL will be provided to identify the internal names.

Question : Please demo how to FNDLOAD Integrators in Web ADIAnswer : To identify the integrator codes, run the below SQL.SELECT integrator_code, application_idFROM bne_integrators_vl vlWHERE user_name IN ('XX Request for further references', 'XX Sorry Interview did not work') ;

This will return two internal codes, both in application PER (Application ID 800). Lets say the two internal codes are HR_101_INTG & HR_41_INTG.

Question : Is FNDLOAD of Web ADI contents similar to above?Answer : Its slightly different, as to recognize the contents I had to use the date range to pick all the content codes configured in Web ADI during the past 90 days. =====================SELECT CONTENT_CODEFROM bne_content_cols_vlWHERE last_update_date > SYSDATE - 90group by CONTENT_CODE ;=====================CONTENT_CODE--------------HR_101_CNTHR_41_CNT

For each content code returned by SQL above, we will now do FNDLOAD as below

When I performed a download on the FNDLOAD with WEBADI all the information downloads successfully. When I upload the information to the new environment the integrator and the layout do not seem to be linked when I try to export data. Do you know the reason for this? The FNDLOAD does not seem to work 100%. Can some one please help?

Hi praveen

The reports are not loaded into the database, hence no FNDLOAD is needed for those.

All you need to do is to use FNDLOAD for is to load things into database, like menu definitions, messages, responsibility definition etc.

for a report with executable name POPRINT.rdf it will most likely be copied to $PO_TOP/reports/US

Thanks anil

Hi Anil,

Can you please help me on FND_LOAD. Suppose I want to put back a customised report in the appropriate custom folder in apps, how do I invoke FND_LOAD? can you give an example.

Please help me on this.

p.s.: i dont know if i have place my query in the appropriate thread. so please send me an email if you cant answer it here.

Would like to know, the path to work out with Webadi for success for multiple instances. There can be two alternatives, either to enter data for a instance or to use webadi to upload data from .xls file.

For using webadi, person should know the table/columns of modules/functionality? Can a functional consultant able to upload data from .xls file to Apps?
